The Chinese word 纯净水 (chúnjìng shuǐ) literally means "pure clean water". It is a compound word consisting of two characters: 纯净 (chúnjìng), meaning "pure" or "clean", and 水 (shuǐ), meaning "water". The word 纯净水 is often used to refer to purified water or distilled water, which has been removed of impurities such as minerals, salts, and organic compounds. It is considered to be a healthier and safer alternative to tap water, especially in areas where the water quality is poor. 纯净水 is widely available in China and is commonly used for drinking, cooking, and other household purposes.
